Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase
it is removed by enzyme choline esterase
broken down by acetylcholinesterase
The transport process by which ACh is released into the synaptic cleft is called Exocytosis.
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft to bind with receptors on muscle cells. Upon binding, the muscle cells contract.
Exocytosis. As a result of the influx of Calcium ions, the synaptic vesicles transport the neurotransmitter Ach (Acetylcholine) to the presynaptic membrane, the vesicles fuse to the membrane, and the neurotransmiffer, Ach, diffuses. Once the neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft, they bind to the receptors on the post synaptic membrane. Hope it helps a bit.
Neurotransmiter, which may be Acetylcholine etc

Synaptic vesicles in the neuromuscular junction contain acetylcholine (ACh) which is the neurotransmitter for initiating muscular contractions.
The transport process by which ACh is released into the synaptic cleft is called Exocytosis.
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft to bind with receptors on muscle cells. Upon binding, the muscle cells contract.
Acetylcholine or aka ACH is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal to through the neuromuscular junction across the synaptic cleft which binds to the ACH receptors on the end motor plate of the Sarcolema.

acetylcholinesterase destroying the ACh
Acetylcholinesterase destroying the ACH
Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.
Physostigmine inhibit AchE (the enzyme that hadrolyse Ach), so Ach accumulate at synaptic cleft and banish the effect of atropine
Connection between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber. Neuromuscular junction is made up of: 1. Axon ending of the motor neuron (contains the vessicles with acetylcholine ; neurotransmitter) 2. Motor end plate (portion of the sarcolemma that contacts the axon ending) 3. Synaptic cleft (space between the motor neuron and the motor end plate) Impulse--->axon ending--->release of ACH (acetycholine)--->ACH in the synaptic cleft--->ACH binds to the ACH receptors--->release of Calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum--->Calcium activates Troponin and Tropomyosin--->binding sites are exposed.
At every junction between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers
